Thats it, boat is going

[ThomasG]

Gee Whiz, I know its the middle of winter, but we only got out 3 times last summer.
The older we get, the harder it is.
I ran away from home when I was 14 and worked on cray boats near Geraldton WA. You had to be pretty tough to survive in those days. We had no sonar, we had no GPS, hell we didn't even have a radio. We fished in just about all weather. That was about 55 years ago.
Nowadays, we cant get out 'cause Its too rough, too cold or my skipper (Mrs) has to play Croquet, or has a Lady's day out. She has never forgotten the fear she felt when a big shark tried to pull us under earlier in the year. (note to self, never use half inch rope to tie your burly bucket)
So....I have put the boat on the market (bad time eh). Pity I have a brand new suzi 140hp on the back, oh well. We are going to buy a caravan again. We can still fish Jetty's and the surf when its nice.
Also, because we have accommodation for fisher folk during the season I can still let the forum know whats been caught.

Cheers...........ThomasG

What are you selling?

[Lightningx]

You are better off selling it if it only got used 3 times during last summer.
Probably get more use out of the caravan once you get it :thumbsup:

I've got her on a couple of sites but I dont know how to put the link up here.
She is a touch under 18ft, Caribbean Concorde.
Here is a bit of a spiel I copied ......
The 140hp Suzi on our boat has done less than 2hrs, it has not even registered on the gauge yet. We have only used the Suzi to fish for whiting/squid 4 times and have always kept her undercover. Yes, she is getting on, but we would not have spent $18,000 on a brand new motor if Ritchardson marine had not given her a thorough going over.
She really has it all, Its a pity we just cant use her at our age and have decided to sell her and go "Grey Nomading".
We have only had her for just over two years and spent over $37,000 on her.
She has....
*Lone Star anchor winch
*Professionally fitted solar panel battery charging kit, never have a flat battery.
*Twin marine battery's.
*Mounted Battery gauge.
*Auto battery isolators.
*Fitted with led lights for night fishing
*High mounted anchor light.
*Light bar spotlight.
*Extended height canopy.
*Anchor chain silencer fitted.
*Suzi engine cover.
*Under floor fuel tank.
"Salt water wash down.
*Fresh water wash down.
*Bait board.
*all sorts of rod holders.
*Twin fire extinguishers.
*All safety gear including off shore.
*VHF marine two way radio.
*Radio CD, MP 3.
*Lowrance Elite HDI-7 (downscan)
*Navionics Gold card
*"Smart" Trim Tabs.
*Drive on trailer.
*Auto bilge pump..
